from recent reports there’s a bunch of Canadian billionaires backing the effort, hoping for DOGE style purge of governmenr

we just “hard reset” the machine and it booted, but it is still perplexing why is this happening.

yes, but this time it will be properly dismissed as “fake news”

In Dscover Flatpacks usually show “recommended” on respective selections etc. so I’m confused what’s the noise is about. Personally I’m never confused where I’m installing Flatpack from

we’ve got pineWatch so why not pebble? PineWatch is OK but it’s.not pebble. It was an amazing low tech that was actually extremely useful

it was proximity sensor and audio. would’ve been perfect for PiZero build of a tiny motion-activated player.

My opinion is that of the two Postres is more “adult”. So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you’re serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it’s a ROI game - what’s more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no “better” or “worse” there’s “feasible” and “prohibitive” 😉

“are you a chicken Marty? Are you?” jeez… so mid-to-highschool 🤦

we can only hope fb implodes sooner rather than later. I personally know multiple people working there who are very decent human beings who need to pay bills. I just hope their current trajectory will force employee action and paralyze fb long enough to hurt. Unlike other places it’s not so simple to just hire a load of IT professionals and have any meaningful results short term, esp. if they have not been ramped up to speed by their colleagues. So it’s not impossible, bowever tolerance threshold is kind of high for any action to take place. Wads of cash, unpaid mortgages and all. Employees of big tech are truly living in gold cages…

I wonder whether alternative solutions were discussed: like Google retaining integration but breaking off Maps division into it’s own entity that has to use same API’s as everyone else and use the same integration points. Would’ve been more user-friendly thing to do.

funny, on the same day we get a headline about Germany energy prices dipping into negatives mainly due to renewables… hmmm

which is why I asked as it was not an ask for the same hardeare but whether there are othrr instances with any hardware…

dell precision 5690 with caldigit tb4 hub it’s actually in bugzilla case if memory serv3s me right 😉

IPU6 seems to be a bit of a mess with vendors virtually free to do whatever they feel like under that banner. As a result some IPU6 support landed but a lot - hasn’t. Can’t blame Linux/Fedora devs for this but it is fairly frustrating to migrate to F41 and discover that my IPU6 device is not supported.

Bottom line it would be nice if posts like this were a bit clearer: “Some IPU6 camera support in Fedora 41” would be better signaling state of things.

the most dangerous assumption either camp is making is that AI is and end-solution. Whre 8n fact it’s just a tool. Like invented steam machines they can do a lot more than humans can but they are only ever useful as tools that humans use. Same here AI can have value as a tool to digest large chunks of data and produce some form of analysis providing humans with “another datapoint” but it’s ultimately up to humans to make the decision based on available data.

I’m not convinced what you run into is a specific podman issue. It’s a resource issue and configuration issue likely. “vanila” podman with proper rootless containers will run as much workload as machine can handle from my experience. My company costomers seem to be running production workloads with it just fine.

Oh wait, by rootless container you really meant running podman rootless? still don’t see an issue though. What specifically are you doing? I mean, what’s the configuration and what’s the workload?

“afford fewer and fewer things” needs correction: most “things” are being turned into “services” so people end up owning nothing and being forced to overpay for “service” they never asked for

you’d be one of few. Most people don’t mind compensating others for services, but when services turn to extortion and lock-in with sub-par digital content players piracy becomes a lot more attractive. Not many can afford 4-5 subscriptions (with Prime you need sun-subscriptions too) and all of it’s expense and complexity. Singular aggregate platform with a cost equaling today’s single subscription cost would probably eliminate good chunk of “piracy”. We can only watch so much in a day so given that streaming companies price things out and provision for that there’s no more impact on them if multi-service subscription costs the same as a single-service and it will reduce need for piracy, as it’s also a hassle to look for content and get all twitchy whether you going to get trojaned or swatted for doing so.

well, it’s not just Teams and not just MS. Have you worked with Zoom lately? I do agree that Teams occupies that very special dark space in my heart right next to hate and loathing.

any time you buy DRM’d content you’re subject to revocation of rights to use it. So buying such content along with purchase of devices geared specifically for DRM-only content is doomed from the beginning.
